Condolences on the Passing of Sheila Jackson Lee, a True Champion of Justice and Human Rights

With profound grief over the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, a true champion of justice and human rights, and a courageous and unforgettable advocate, I extend my heartfelt condolences, along with those of the Iranian people and Resistance, especially the women of the Iranian Resistance, to the people of America, members of the U.S. Congress, her family, and all who cherish freedom.

The people of Iran have lost a passionate defender, and I have lost a close and compassionate friend who stood with the Iranian Resistance for several decades, even in the most challenging circumstances. She defended the Iranian Resistance against the clerical regime, the policy of appeasement, and unjust labels, defended PMOI members in Ashraf, and faced many adversaries with unwavering courage.

Her name and memory will forever remain in the hearts and minds of freedom-loving people around the world, especially among my compatriots in Iran.
